No, he was dead but his colleagues had plenty to say. No one outside is particularly good at translation so when they speak they are like Democrats talking to Chris Matthews. Or Jews talking about Israel to this list. After a while you just take care of your own but when you do that you get accused of being racist yourself. Think of all of that language from Julius Streicher about Jewish bankers and you will get the drift. Anyway, one of the disciples just went back to being Baptist the other day. I still think the answer is the same as the one put forward by Frederick Wilkerson and Todd Duncan. It is in the Art. The Black community for about 25 years during the Beatles era, was the sole protector of Western Classical music according music critic Raol Abdul. I agree. Then they invented hip-hop from the black jazz Avant Garde. Things are complicated and most people don't have any idea. But I met these people when Wilkie died. Great poets and musicians coming out to honor their own. It was as impressive as any other group that I have known including Jews and the English. It would do all of the world good to get to know one another. Then they would stop talking so embarrassingly provencially. Got to get back to work. There is a festival to invent.
